Native Instruments MASCHINE+ Standalone Production and Performance Instrument - Manual (Page 70)

8.6.2. Auditioning Instrument Presets
The Prehear function enables you to audition Instrument presets before you load them.
When browsing Instrument presets:
▶ Press SHIFT + Button 8 ( PREHEAR ) to enable/disable the Prehear function.
When Prehear is enabled:
• The Instrument preset selected in the result list can be heard.
• Turn the 4-D encoder or Knob 8 to select the previous or next Instrument preset in the result list.
Upon selection this Instrument preset is played back and the previous Instrument preset stops
playing.
• Button 5 ( PREV ) and 6 ( NEXT ) allow you to audition the previous or next preset in the results list.
• In Pad Mode, pressing the highlighted pad allows you to also audition the Instrument preset
again.
• To load the Instrument preset, press the 4-D encoder or Button 8 ( LOAD ).
When you disable Prehear, the playback of any Instrument preset still being pre-listened is
stopped.
The Prehear signal is sent to the Cue bus of MASCHINE+.
8.6.3. Auditioning Samples
The Prehear function enables you to audition samples before you load them.
When browsing Samples:
▶ Press SHIFT + Button 8 ( PREHEAR ) to enable/disable the Prehear function.
When Prehear is enabled:
• The Sample selected in the result list can be triggered from the pad of the focused Sound or
from any pad without being loaded into that Sound.
• Pressing any other pad triggers its Sound without changing the focus. To set the focus to
another Sound you have to press SELECT + its pad or to disable Prehear.
• Turn the 4-D encoder or Knob 8 to select the previous or next Sample in the result list. Upon
selection, this Sample is played back and the previous Sample stops playing.
• Button 5 ( PREV ) and 6 ( NEXT ) do not automatically load the Sample they select as they usually
do (see section Loading the Selected Files Automatically ), but instead, they play it back as well.
• To load the Sample, press the 4-D encoder or Button 8 ( LOAD ).
When you disable Prehear, the playback of any Sample still being pre-listened is stopped.
8.6.4. Loading Groups with Patterns
Every Group from the factory library includes a set of Patterns that illustrate possible uses of that
Group. Similarly, when you save a Group of your own to the Library for later use, all Patterns you
have created for that Group will be saved with the Group.
